World of Warcraft on a Pentium 3 and GeForce 6200
- 10 years ago
A while ago, I decided to try World of Warcraft on my Pentium 3. It ran not too bad, averaging around 10 - 12 FPS. This was recorded with patch 5.4.8. As of Patch 6.0, WoW no longer runs on SSE based CPUs such as the Pentium 3 and Athlon XP, and now requires an SSE2 capable CPU at minimum.
